BETTER STILLS WANTED.
General Complaint of tho Stables at
Ivy CITY.


The race horse owners stabliny their
horses at the Ivy City Course arc loud in
their complaints against the miserable
stable accommodations. A year ago
THE CRTiC called The attention of the
committee having this business In
charge TO the advantages of improving
the stable accommodations, but no
action has ever been taken. The Fair
Association Is responsible for the hor.
rible condition of things at the track.
They receive all the money made at the
Jockey Club meetings, but never n
cent is expended for the comfort of
owners or horses, and 1t is about time
the Jockey Club should take stand
and demand that the place be put in
order. There is not race track in the
country offering worse stabliug facili
ties than does this one. and the Wash.
ington meetings will surely fall below
their high standard unless something
Is done very soon. Only last week Mr..
w. b. Jennings lost half brother to
the famous Monogram in the bay colt
Monika (by Fernclilf, dam Monomana),
and yesterday he had TO move all his
horses out of their stable, trying to iind
an occasional dry stall somewhere
about the track.
A CmT1c reporter was talking to n
party of horsemen last evening, and
they assured him that every horse at
the track was coughing, and some had
been threatened with lung fever. and
unless something was done quickly to
give them dry stables they would all
leave for New York, where dry stables
could be found. Moreover they would
never return to this track. Mr.. Jcn
ning's said: There are seventy
horses here, and about as good a lot as
any in this country, surely reason
enough why the committee should try
TO provide healthy stables for us. II
they don't we will leave, aud the
spring meeting will be iizhle."
The success of the spring meetings
depend In great measure ON the
horses that winter at Ivy City. The
Fair Association is responsible for the
present state of affairs, which is injur.
ing the Jockey Club, in which the city
justly takes pride.

a MEMBER OF the Dominion cabinet is
reported as having said, in a speech at a
banquet in Montreal last night. that he
regretted the stand taken by congress on
the fishery question, but hoped that the
good sense Of the American people would
make itself felt in high quarters, and pre-
vent the act Of congress from being car
Rcd out. la this tho high Canadian
tunctionary is likely to be disappointed.
The act authorizes tho president to adopt
retaliatory measures in case of necessity.
and the only way % prevent his doing so
Is to obviatc the necessity. This the Do
minlon government seems disinclined to
do, and the president, however reluctant
to increase the ill feeling already existing
between the two countries. will unques-
tionably do whatever the occasion may
require,

She was the most beautiful mare l
have over seen, of pure Maid blood,
gray, with flea bitten spots, eyes too
LARGE for her head. nostril thin and ex-
p~nded, the throat of a game cock, the
hair of her name and tail SO Gno and
soft that the most beautiful woman
might have been proud of such n texture,
and her skin SO thin and soft that the
thorn bushes through which l rode her
used to tear it; and after many of my
runs through the jungle 1 have had her,
bleeding from the thorns, looking as if
she had been practiced upon with a light
sabre. She was what you would con-
a.lcr in England q pony, IA hands l LIZ
inches high; but she was as broad almost
MS a dray horse, and her tail was set up
SO high that as she moved about her
loose box you could, STOPPING, walk be-
tween it and the ground. Her feet were
black and hard, and the tendons below
her hooks and knees were like harp
strings. Add to this that her head was
so lean that you might have boiled it
without obtaining any flesh from it, and
you have n picture of what this desert
born mare was.-Maj. Shakespeare.

WHILE nobody expected the inter state
m act to give general satisfaction
either to the corporations affected or the
people at large, it was supposed that it
could be made the means of administering
substantial justice to all rights concerned.
1t seems from the number of protests and
complaints that the law is not working
well. The commissioners themselves
recognize the fact that its provisions can
not be universally applied, as several rail
roads whose lines naturally encounter the
competition Of waterways have been grant
ed concessions in the matter of rates.
which are not accorded to other roads.
The law is a mere experiments tenta-
tive effort at legislation, to be corrected
and modified in the light of results. Ii
this Were not SO universally recognized as
the fact, the best thing in the end would
be to adopt Grants wise suggestion about
enforcing unpopular laws, and to carry
IL u to the letter. leaving the public to
balance its merits and defects.

What the Lick telescope will do will
depend On men who have the handling of
it. Ii viii not make discoveries of itself.
III that can be said OF it is that it will
place il the hands Of painstaking com
lsctcut Observers the best means now in
existence OF scanning the heavens. If
they do not turn t,s means to account it
will net bo the fault Of the telescope. In
times past some small telescopes nave
made moro important discoveries than
stand to the credit of some of the large
telescopes Of our day. But this is not be-
cause the small instruments were better,
but because in proportion to the progress
OF exploration the uneXplorcd area of the
heavens naturally diminishes. There is
less to be discovered now than there was
in the time of the elder Herschcl.
Nor is it logical to deride large tele-
scope because Lord Roses great instru-
mcnt has added little to its carly nebular
discovery. His telescope is powerful.
but it is not exact or accurate, and every
observer knows that ~cxactness and pre-
cision III Il telescope are even moro I'M
portant than power. Professor Davidson
says that the Lick telescope will unveil
stars of n degree fainter magnitude
than 4 DO detected by the instruments
now in use. This would be no small gain.
A co~rrespondingly increased power ought
to add to Il knowledge of Mars, which
is the planet of most immediate interest
to observers on this globe.-San Fran
cisco Call.

Louis Blanding says the generally nc
cepted statement that the largest nugget
ever found in California was worth n
little moro than $o1, 900 is an erroneous
one. He says that j. j. Finney, "Old
Virginia" found a piece Of gold about
six miles from Downieville, Sierra county,
on Aug. 81, 1866, that weighed 5000
ounces. The gold of that vicinity was
worth S1S per ounce, which would make
the value of the nugget 500, 900. This
would make the Finney nugget the largest
piece Of pure gold ever discovered, Sc far
as accounts go. Heretofore the Austria
Ian nugget, found in the Ballarat gold
fields, has been considered the largest. 1t
was valued at $50, 900. Fnney, or odd
Virginia, F" as he was familiarly called in
those days, afterward went to Washoe

made there, and from him the town of

a REAL estate boom is IN excellent
thing in its way, but does not of itself
bring permanent prosperity to the COM
munity which it visits, any more than the
barometer causes the changes which it in
dicatos. y boom signifies that an oppor-
tunity is afforded for enterprise and public
spirit to render available to their utmost
all the elements Of prosperity which can
be found t. exist. There are many towns
which have had their "booms''-spurts of
abnormal activity-and yet failed to i'm
prove the shining hour by catching on
to the chances it may bring.

a vulgar spoken man can do a great
deal of injury unknowingly to ones
trade. There are men who can never be
restrained. Ii anything goes at variance
with them, they make no scruple Of
ninging out All oath or n vile epithet. To
ladss this is particularly distasteful, and
there are sensitive gentlemen too who
can not endure it. Neither may say any
thing, but they quietly stay away, and
the result is that while one retains the
foul mouthed mans trade he may lose
the custom OF four or five equally as
good, II not better. The defect is q hard
one to correct. --Globe-D Democrat.
